Question

a person walks along the sides of a square field.Each side is 100m long.What is the maximum magnitude of displacement of the person in any time interval?

Answer 1

Howdy!!

your answer is ---

a person walks along the sides of a square field ,each side 100meter.

so , magnitude of maximum displacement is equal to the diagonal of square .

so, side of square is 100meter

therefore , its diagonal is

$100 \sqrt{2} = 100 \times 1.414 = 141.4meter$

hence , maximum displacement is 141.4meter approx

================================
hope it help you

Answer 2

hey
The maximum displacement is the diagonal of the square field.

side of square = 100m
diagonal = √100² + 100² = √20000 = 100√2 m = 141.42m

So maximum displacement is 141.42m.
